injury

Dr. Roy Gigi is not a bad specialist, but the appointment was a little rushed and not all of our questions were answered. Overall, the treatment helped, but would have liked more attention to detail.

Leg deformity

Our son needed to correct a foot deformity and we went to Dr. Roy Gigi at Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital. He showed great patience and attention to every detail. He explained everything - how the surgery would go, what to expect from the recovery. We felt that our child was in good hands. После операции заметили значительное улучшение, и восстановление прошло быстрее, чем ожидалось. Dr. Roy is a true professional at what he does.

leg lengthening

Dr. Roy Gigi helped our daughter with a leg length disparity and his approach to treatment was wonderful. We were very worried at first, but he explained all the options in detail and assured us that everything would go well. The surgery went smoothly and the results are exceeding our expectations! Dr. Roy is an incredibly professional and friendly doctor who cares not only about the physical health, but also about the psychological well-being of the child and parents.
